Fortunate iPhone

I got my iPhone yesterday through FedEx after placing an order last friday and I was very shocked with my experience with it.
For the week and a half I waited to get mine from the mail, I kept myself updated with possible problems and scenarios that everyone have been posting here and after playing with my phone for two days now, I am very shocked that my iPhone hasn't encountered any kind of problem. I was able to put almost all my songs, which was another shocker for me since I had originally thought I was only going to be able to fit a fraction of my music library but no I put in about 1200 songs, 8 Music Videos and 4 Movies and my entire iPhoto Library which probably contains about 6000 photos if not more, so I'm thinking...whoaa... and thats not all, I synced my music, photos, some videos, mail contacts and etc.. and I am still left with 2gb of space. So I dont really get it but hey I should not even complain.
Sync has been very smooth and quiet fast. And its just amazing.
No sound problems or anything. I actually put it to the test this morning and before I went to bed at about 2am, which makes it harder for me to hear an alarm later in the morning, I set it up for 7am and it was quiet loud and yes it did wake me up. And one thing I found out if no one else had discovered this... So I followed the advice I got from online with the headphones and I did my own headphone surgery to my Shure ones and um I didn't know you can use them to make calls! Shure doesn't have mics but it uses the microphone on your phone but you can hear the other person on the headphones and I love it since my Shure has noise canceling.
So far then I think I got lucky! I hope apple will do an update software wise but other than that I love my iPhone

I'm glad you had such a great experience ... so did I
... but did you really get all of that on your
iPhone? I have about 500MB left on my 8GB iPhone with
about 800 photos (about 500MB), 3 TV episodes and 1
Movie (2.36 GB), around 700 songs and 4 (long)
audiobooks (3.76 GB) and all my contacts and
stuff.
G5 2GHz, 12"
PowerBook G4, iMac G5, Lots of iPods Mac OS X
(10.4.9)
I put in about 4,600 photos, And I have my 1200 songs in it and music videos and yes I just plugged it in again to see and I have 2.12gb left of space. I dont know how the **** thats supposed to be possible but I'm not even gonna complain lol. Right when I plugged it in when I got it yesterday it asked me if I wanted to "send in information that my iPhone had provided that might help future development"?? I didn't care about it so I just clicked yes away until I'm like...how did I fit about 15bg of stuff to 6? I dont know.
Because I had made a playlist for the phone for about 600 songs then I looked at my phone after I synced and there was lots of space left so I said well why not try to put more...so I doubled it and it went through and I still had some space left.

Error trying to Update iPhone, now I cannot use my iPhone!!!!!!!!

I plugged my iphone into my computer, clicked "Check for Updates" and it downloaded the software and installed it.. and then while it was "Verifying Software Update" it gets an error saying "The iphone "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occured. (6)"
Then a picture of itunes and a usb cable shows up on my iphone screen.
So I unlug it and plug it back in, and itunes then says "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes."
So, I click OK and thn Restore. Then it says "Are you sure you want to restore your iphone "iphone" to it's factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iphone software will be installed." So I click "Restore and Update" (because if I click cancel, I still can't do anything but click restore, and it gives the same message everytime.)
So, once I click Restore and Update, it then starts that process. Then I get another error in the middle of it "Verifying Software" saying "The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured. (6)" I then click OK. Itunes again no longer finds my device and my iphone screen shows ituness and a usb cable.
NOW I CANNOT TURN MY IPHONE ON, BECAUSE WHEN I DO ALL I SEE IS THE ITUNES PICTURE AND A USB CABLE. UGHHH OMG, HELP/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic_ __/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images /migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not- avail.png
Also, under version, it now says my iphone is Up to Date with its software.
Also, everytime I connect the iphone to my computer, itunes says "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes."
So, I can't restore my phone... I can't use my phone because all that will show up is the usb cable and itunes picture, so I don't know what to do/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___ /migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/m igration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-av ail.png

Hi everybody, well update on my phone....IT CRASHED!!!! I happen to be a fortunate sole as my phone was ONLY 21 days old....I took it to nearest dealer after techs could not resolve the issue...it would not go past 'verifying phone software'....I was given a FULL refund, thank goodness....no more IPHONE for me...back to the ole faithful 'razor' phone..one thing a tech tried was other than the obvious, while plugging your cord into port HOLD down the HOME button at same time and it could FORCE the phone into recovery mode...didn't work for me but might for you guys....very pathetic...have an aunt in SLC, Utah...up for an upgrade in November and with this she's OPTED to maintain her current phone and contract with other carrier....I don't think this is very good for Apple or AT&T....for those of you lucky enough to still be up and running, the only thing I can say is make sure you have a backup OFTEN...FYI, my original contacts on my sim card that was transferred from my old phone were STILL THERE....good luck everybody, I'm out of here....

IMessage on the iPhone 6 doesn't allow me to sign in with my current email

Hey guys,
So here's the problem - I can send and receive texts/iMessages on my iPhone 6. I cannot, however, hook up my macbook pro to the same account to use the messaging service with, as Apple has said would be possible (answer texts on my macbook pro via the Messages app).
I'm trying to add my AppleID/iCloud user account (email and pw are now the same, after all my troubleshooting to make things easier) on my iPhone in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Add An Email. All I have that shows up is my phone number, but when I tap "Add An Email," one screen pops up for a split second (picture 1) with my current email address, as if it'll let me log in, and then it immediately disappears- followed by a pop up box which only allows me to log in with my old email address. How do I get the pop up box to either show my current email address or not pop up in the first place, so I can log in? (I don't know how I got the screengrab for picture 1.. it disappears in less than a second.)
Again, I can message/text on my phone perfectly well, but I cannot connect it to my Messages app on my macbook pro, in order to answer people's messages from there. I've tried logging in and out of all the various services and switching the email account back to my old one (which worked for iMessage, but then I couldn't use the App Store with that old email address- so choosing the lesser of two evils, I reverted to my current email address and the problem at hand returned).
Now I've called Apple support and I'm waiting on them to call me back with a security code they may or may not have, which they apparently sent out to some users to let them use iMessage. I'm supposed to somehow use this code to get this all working...if they have the code. Which they, themselves sent me. Which is apparently more secure than a fingerprint.
I'm having my doubts about them, so I'm looking here for help.
Hope you guys could follow that and thanks in advance...

Actually, I was very fortunate to have had this issue resolved. I restarted my computer and tried again and this time, for some reason, Adobe accepted my credentials and allowed me to sign in.

Failed iPhone sync as iTunes states random song files "could not be read". I politely ask for your help!

Hello
Been having this problem for awhile now:
When I attempt to sync my iPhone, iTunes will start syncing but after every few songs it syncs, iTunes interrupts the sync with a message saying the file could not be imported since it could not be read. I can go to that song iTunes can't import in my list of music and play it in iTunes and verify that it isn't corrupted.
Does anyone know what the issue is? Here is what I have tried so far:
* Restore entire iPhone
* Remove iTunes and all preferences, re install and re import music library
* Change file import settings to iTunes Plus AAC conversion (Not sure this even does anything)
* Manually converting EVERY song (Shift+Clicking) to AAC
* Attempt to sync music manually (e.g. only checked items)
The message is as follows: iTunes could not copy "such and such song" to the iPhone because the file could not be read. This error happens with a different song each time I remove the previous one indefinitely, I have over 3000 songs, and it would take me days before I could manually remove each song iTunes deems unworthy of syncing (if at all). And this ONLY happens if I am fortunate enough for iTunes to even attempt to sync the tracks, usually it just skips that step entirely saying it's been completed, with no music actually transferred...
I am leaving on an international trip soon and I very much want to have hard copies of my music with me, I've been wracking my brain for ages now and haven't been this frustrated since freshmen year of highschool.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
* iPhone 5S - iOS 7.1.1
* Windows 8.1
* iTunes 11.2.2
TL;DR: Everytime I try to sync my songs onto my iPhone, I get an error message that says "iTunes could not copy "(song name)" to the iPhone because the file could not be read or written." and then it stops syncing completely, so the rest of the songs after that don't get put on my iPhone. File is playable and not corrupt.

Hi skyvandyk,
It sounds like one of your music files may have been corrupted at some point and when trying to sync that song the iPhone is unable to do so. I know this must be a frustrating issue for you.
What I would suggest is that you first attempt to sync your iPhone without that particular song. To do this you will need to manually manage the music that goes to your iPhone. This article will tell you how -
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If the song was purchased from the iTunes store you can delete it and download again at no cost, if it is still available. See this article -
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the song came from a CD or another source you may have to get it again from that source.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Since I updated my iphone I lost all my data, contacts emails etc.

So just a while ago, itunes recommended to update my iphone.
While living in this era everything seems to be in need of updates, apparantly nobody can make a normal functional wokring program at once anymore.
Anyway of course i accepted and voila, it was downloading and so on.
Then when it was all ready it introduced itselve as if i just had bought a new iphone :S
which is akward while i have this one since2,5 years.
I found out that it just completly resetted everything, and so i don't have any past data on my phone...
o o, fortunalty Apple provides with the back up oppertunity, but unfortunatly for me i get errors and this part doenst work.
Costing me a lot of time and money and i am quit furious about this problem...
As a freelancer this is one of the things which is not nice to overcome, to say it in a polite way.
does anybody have any experience whith these circumstances?
Yours,
Edward

So true, so i tried to restore and it gave me quit a lot of errors at first...
which after an hour of doings makes you quit frightfull that you lost everything.
Fortunatly after a couple of times (between 3 and 5) it eventually worked...
although i lost all my whatsapp contents, which is still really a pitty, but the rest is working..
guesse thats better then to loose everything, but at first i was really shocked aswell as after the updating it looks like apple shows you new stuf in a way that you just bought a new phone which could be a bit more clear...
anyway its working and i can continue with my work so thats good.

I can't get itunes to bring up my new iphone 4 to where I can transfer stuff from my account or even back up the stuff from my 3GS to it. Help please...

I have been trying to sync my new iPhone 4 to my itunes account. I want to transfer stuff from my 3GS to this phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have uninstalled itunes and all apple components and reinstalled and no success. It shows the phone sync when itunes comes up and then when I click on the phone on the right side it will just disappear and I want to get to the menu where I can I back up info from 3gs to this new phone.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I have little idea what this is all about but unless you are sure it is an iTunes question and not anything to do with the receiver you are better off trying to get support for a hardware specific issue on the manufacturer's support services. You'll get a lot of people here who know iTunes but you're going to have to be fortunate to get one with that specific model receiver.

Ability to transfer purchased applications on 1G iPhone 2.0 to iPhone 3G?

Hi all,
I've had my iPhone since June 29th and was one of the fortunate ones who updated to 2.0 this morning without any troubles. I've already spent about $40 in apps and love the new software. However, I will likely eventually upgrade to an iPhone 3G (perhaps when a 32GB model ships) but after reading the below KB article about how the iPhone backup process works, I'm worried that I will not be able to use all of my purchased apps on the 3G when I switch. See below. This doen't seem right. Anyone have any ideas?
"Applications purchased from the App Store are included in the backup, however they can only be successfully restored to the same device that they were backed up from."
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

I am wondering the same thing. After all, you are upgrading your phone. If I (smartly) wait a week for all of the furvor and lines to die down before buying the 3G, will i have to repurchase all of the apps again?

Purchasing Ring Tones iPhone vs. Verizon vs. iTunes

So I finally bit the bullet and I am enjoying my new iPhone of 2 days! Why is it so hard to spend money on the Verizon website?! I belong to the "fortunate ones" whose children pay their parents phone bills! However, the extras etc. I want to handle...
My child pays the bill so I CANNOT SIGN INTO MY OLD VERIZON ACCOUNT. iT WILL SCREW UP HER ACCOUNT....
I don't want to start getting the emails and bills that belong to her family, and she certainly does not need that inconvienence.
Please tell me HOW do I BUY ringtones from Verizon without signing in? Of course, it will not allow me to sign in and I have had bad luck in the past by entering my number without an active billing account. It would be a good idea to have a store option open for us folk.
I guess I will try making a ring tone, but I wanted the NO Hassle tonight at midnight! Would anyone like to address what program I might use on my Windows 7 ??? Thank you very much for your or any reply!

Not really sure what could have possibly happened with your experience with iTunes in the past...if your computer crashed and you didn't do routine backups of your library (either using discs or an external hard drive) then your music would have been lost. Not sure if that's what you're saying happened though. If it was then unfortunately that was a mistake on your part because apple did not at that time store your purchases or allow you to redownload your purchases. Depending on how old your iTunes version is on your computer then the differences of the latest iTunes would be vastly different. You can go to the apple.com website to read more about it to see if it helps. If you currently use the the iCloud feature then you will have access to any of your iTunes purchases and can redownload them to any iOS device you may have or to your computer but you will need to update your iTunes for the ability to download past items to your computer. If you aren't using iClouds then you would need to use iTunes on the computer for any device backups or syncing. Ultimately, if you aren't familiar with current iTunes capabilities or iCloud (or any other features associated with iOS 5 and your new iPhone) then you would greatly benefit from looking the owners manual for your iPhone. You can find it on the apple website at www.apple.com/support and clicking on the manuals link...there your should find the manual for your device which you can save to your computer for future viewing or just go to the site as needed. You can also view the manual on your iPhone by going to Safari on your iPhone and looking at the bookmarks that has the user guide as one of the bookmarks. Sorry if I misunderstood what trouble or issues you were saying you had with iTunes in the past. Glad you were able to find whatever you needed to get the ringtone you wanted.

Hi All, Wanted to share!
As some of you may know, we had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached are pictures of what remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I wanted to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did. This fire resulted from leaving an iPhone charger/docking station plugged into the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our garage. PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn off your car!
We were VERY fortunate that we found the fire, at 11pm, before going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat detectors or house fire alarms went off (another item to take care of on my “to do” list). Feel free to pass this along to anyone you want. Better safe than sorry.

When i connect my iphone to my imac, itunes opens but my itunes is not there. My wife has recently added herself to the computer
and her itunes appears but i cannot find my itunes?

Not really! Anyhow, what do you want to achieve. The only things you can access in your iPad outside of using iTunes are photos and videos. [Locate the iPad as any other external device through Windows Eplorer or Finder and dig through the folders.]
You are fortunate that iTunes opens when you connect the iPad since many other users have difficulty in achieving this. It is from there that you can manage what you want synced to the iPad.

Love the iPhone, Verizon is not the same.

My other half purchased an iPhone for me two weeks ago. I have had zero problems with the iPhone itself and I am very pleased. No freezing, crashing, dropped calls (unless there is little or no signal) it's really helpful to me and my busy life.
Up until this point I raved about Verizon and I was impressed with their customer service, pleased with employees knowledge of phones, plans, pricing and features. Ever since this iPhone I have talked to 2 very confused agents over the phone, one aggitated tech and one very confused online chat agent.
I received a voice mail asking me to evaluate my recent experience and that line was unable to complete my call.
I was not made aware that all of my Verizon voicemails would disappear and I am in the middle of a case which requires those voicemails. While they may be gone, I am not impressed that I was not advised of several details involving this iPhone.
I was very excited that Verizon now has the iPhone so I could stay with their service but now I am not very impressed.
If anyone can direct me to a feedback line, emai or something I would be grateful.
I tried calling customer service and the agent said they did not know of a customer service line and they could not assist me in that matter. I am confused as to why customer service cannot provide the service they once had.

That's awesome! I have not yet met one person who knew or was told prior to purchasing the phone. So I see that you are fortunate.
Sorry to say, but the majority of posters on here will tell you that they were aware that voicemails would be lost. If you and your wife never actually researched the iPhone on VZ prior to purchasing (other than talking to a rep) then that may explain why you were not aware, although the VZ stores in my area did tell people when purchasing in store before activating that they would lose their vmails. Unfortunately, it does seem that a lot of VZ CS were not sufficiently trained (at least in the beginning) about the iPhone. At any rate, I would like to point out that even with AT&T if someone switches to the iPhone from another phone they lose their vmails (per info I read on their FAQs for the iPhone and from an AT&T iPhone owner that I know personally...who said she wasn't told by AT&T either that she would lose them). It's unfortunate that you needed those vmails but honestly, if the messages saved on anyone's vmail is extremely important they should investigate ways to save them externally from the network anyway. It's like backing up your data on a computer...at any time for any reason something could happen to that data and those important files could be lost if backups aren't done. Something could happen to the vmail system at any time causing people to lose saved vmails and they would still be in the same boat. True, the possibility seems slim on the surface but the risk is still there. Obviously, all of that is pure hindsight, but it is food for thought (for the future) when it comes to any important data anyone wants to keep.
As far as the CS issues...have you tried looking on the website for a corporate address to contact or doing a search to find this info? Usually, contacting Corporate will lead you in the right direction when call center employees seem unable or unwilling to help. A lot of CS for companies work for a contracted company rather than the old process of having an actual call center or CS center directly within the company. That might explain the decline in CS many feel like has occurred.

Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!

Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!! I don't think the phone is fit for purpose as any other phone i've had has been dropped and been fine and surely they expect a mobile to be accidentally dropped at least once!!

Yeah, sad to hear of your accident:
If you dropped it on concrete- that is the hardest material and chance of damage goes up tremedously. Actually you are fortunate not to have mobile insurance because then you have to trust your insurance provider to provide you with a quality replacement or repair.
Apple is always spot-on you know what you're getting. They can always attempt to replace JUST the display on an iPhone 5 for $149 + tax is what I've heard them quote others. But they said it's $229 to replace your phone with another whole new iPhone 5. Get the AppleCare+ because two of these incidents will only cost you $49 + tax in the future!

I was 'tipped' an Iphone 5 and it has a passcode....

It's an AT&T 32 gig 4g Iphone 5. There is a passcode on it. My friend thinks its an international one. I was trying to use square on my iphone 4 to get paid for the cab ride using his credit card and to turn my phone on I had to really hammer down on my power button because the proximity sensor is broken. He noticed that and told me he was going back to his country the next day and didn't need the phone he used in the states anymore so he just tossed it to me and walked off. I hesitated because it seemed like a drunken mistake on his part and I figured he'd come back for it after a second. I didn't think to ask for the passcode because I also wanted the phone and I felt like asking him would ruin his little cavalier show of tossing me a phone and walking off and then he'd want it back haha.
Well nobody has called the phone asking for it back (I only find about 4 of these things a year and get them back to the owners except in this fortunate case)
Do I have a fancy paperweight? or can I use this phone somehow? I really hate my broken 4 and I'm a ways off from replacing it under Verizon's trade up thing.

You have a paperweight.

IPhone 4 crashes itunes when syncing..

as the title says when i try and sync my brand new iphone 4 it crashes itunes so i cant get any music or anything onto it.

SOLUTION!!!
Ok so the deal is, that it is in fact a rogue song/album messing up the sync. To find the error, I was fortunate to have a second Iphone 3G (My Old One).
I synched the songs step by step in Itunes. That is, I unchecked "Sync Entire Library" and went step by step through each artist. To expedite this you can go "All the A's" or "All the B's" whatever works for you. Sit and watch where things go wrong and you get the "Iphones has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I found one album that caused the break. Note, as soon as you locate the problem area that's crashing, uncheck the block of artists you were synching. Begin to synch step by step until you find the problem Album / Artist.
Next, I tried to fix things in a variety of ways. I noticed some file names were long, and this had been causing earlier issues. Convert long song names to AAC, Itunes will make a smaller file name. I did this and was able to continue the synching process. Other times, I'd try this and Itunes would crash just turning a file into AAC. I deleted these files from the library and voila, continued synching.
Really odd issues, hopefully this works for you. please feel free to let me know if you're still having issues.

Help with iPhone 4 order please!

So I was having trouble getting through the apple servers to pre-order an iphone this afternoon. After a 30 minute call, an operator told me that the phones didnt ship until July 2nd. I said I'll just try online because I'm leaving the country on June 30th. Anyways, I was fortunate enough to get through and purchase a 32g around 7 pm pst. BUT, when the order went through, it said it was going to ship on July 2nd and deliver from July 6-8.
I've been hearing rumors that the phone will arrive before July even if it says otherwise. So I'm just wondering if I should stick with my order or cancel it and try and get the phone at the store. Getting the phone in the mail anytime in July wouldn't be an option as I'm going to be out of the country and nobody will be at home.
Thanks

I wouldn't count on it coming earlier than July, fact is, Apple is sold out of pre-orders for delivery on 6/24. There may be a limited number at stores, but you can count on long lines/wait times. You might have better luck at a WalMart, they are an authorized reseller, but no one thinks of them when purchasing an iphone.

Fortunate iPhone
